Vacation Home Rental Description:

Ready to try out island life? We think you?ll like Riviera House is a fantastic family home on the Gulf Coast?s Venice Island, just 4 blocks to the private beach access where you can watch the sun rise.

It?s an ideal vacation home, particularly if you love music. Unlike any other vacation rental you?ll consider, Riviera House has a piano! This 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom house sleeps up to 7 (non-smoking) guests.

Although the beach is a hop-skip-jump for even the littlest legs, once you?ve walked home you can enjoy Florida life as only locals get to experience. Thanks to a large, fully screened lanai and totally updated kitchen you can stock up on local produce at the Venice Farmer?s Market and eat every meal outside. Grilling on the patio will become habit from day one. Once you?ve stocked the massive French door fridge/freezer, it will keep the cold drinks and frozen treats coming for weeks.

While the house has 3 bedrooms (a king, a queen and a single bed), you can comfortably accommodate a 7th guest on the living room?s sleeper sofa. Grab a few quiet minutes in your master bedroom, where your own separate couch is a nice spot to check email. High-speed wireless Internet is included in your rental. Should you ever need a quiet night in, there?s a brand new 60? HDTV ready when you want it. Choose between the two extra-long couches and kick back.

Are you ready to fully relax and enjoy yourselves? Unlike at a busy resort, Riviera House offers your family total privacy and so much more space for your money. Everything is provided and, with a newly awarded silver rating, you can look forward to high-end linens (from fully made beds to fluffy bath towels). As a ranch-style house it?s especially great for families with small children or elderly relatives who?d rather not bother with stairs.

Explore your surroundings while at Riviera House, and you?ll soon know Venice as well as a local. Try the local biking and walking trails, or enjoy your quiet neighborhood, especially around sunset when the Gulf Coast skies come to life in stunning display.

You might realize, on a whim, how much you need a tropical cocktail or an ice cream on the beach. Everything is in easy walking distance of no more than 10 blocks. Such nearby private beach access means you never need to search for parking. For a great night out, without need for a designated driver, walk to the beach and then stroll south along it to Sharky?s On The Pier.

Hope to get to know Venice over a longer period? Riviera House is available for monthly rentals (or stay all winter, inviting your lucky friends and family to join you throughout).

Property Reviews

Quite peacefulA guest from Osage, MN recommends this property.
Stayed for 29 days in April, 2013 This was really not a vacation for me , this was a time for me to heal after losing my husband to cancer a few months ago, I enjoyed the location for my walks. The beach was just a long block away. I have family who live on venice island so that helped to be close . Sorry this wasn't very helpful but the best I could do.

Cute Little HouseA guest from New Berlin, NY recommends this property.
Stayed for 31 days in December, 2012 The house is very sweet, but truely a "One and a half" bedroom. The second bedroom ( with pocket doors for privacy) is a pass through to the lanai and is very small. For kids,though, it's great. The master bedroom is nice and large. I loved the lanai to hang out on, great morning light. Overall terific location for an active vacation.

July 2012 vacationCynthia P. from Land O Lakes, FL recommends this property.
Stayed for 30 days in June, 2012 This was our first experience with a pet-friendly rental and I'll have to say we were very happy with this property! The location was fantastic; we walked to the beach every day. It was a quick ride to the dog beach, too. We enjoyed walking to the Saturday morning farmers market downtown and had fun checking out all the restaurants. Scamotz has the best pizza ever!! The house a/c is kinda noisy and I have slept on much more comfortable beds (we brought our own mattress pad which really helped), but overall we had a memorable experience and look forward to a return visit.

Loved it - Can't wait to go back to VeniceEleanor C. from Ocean City, MD recommends this property.
Stayed for 29 days in April, 2012 Service was wonderful. We were dumb enough to lock ourselves out at 9:30 p.m. and called Kevin and he was right there to let us in without a complaint. The location was great. The house was clean and comfortable. Only complaint is the mattress on the Queen size bed was uncomfortable. The yard and location was great.

February Stay at 641 BarcelonaJoe J. from Harrisville, MI recommends this property.
Stayed for 13 days in February, 2012 Place was great but there are several things that need attention. Hinges need adjusting on both screen doors. The TV n the living room has very poor sound and the TV n the bedroom doesn't work. Neighbors request that sprinkler tng be changed so that morning walkers don't have to go into the street.

Property Manager Response:Response from Vacation Rental Pros Hi Joe - Thank you for taking the time to share this information with us. I apologize for the maintenance and cleaning issues.

Nice stayReviewed by: SHU-HSIN L. recommends this property.
Stayed for 7 days in April, 2011 It was a nice little house, not super fancy but had almost everything we needed. It would be nice if there were some sharp knives we could use in the kitchen and some food containers we could use to put food in but after all, it was nice enough. Location was good, very convenient to places.

Great Family VacationA guest from Mountain Lake, MN recommends this property.
Stayed for 7 days in March, 2011 The property worked well for our family of 5. We were able to walk to the beach and have a relaxing time in the home. It advertised 2 baths but only had one full bathroom and a separate toilet in a utility room. Still worked for us but wasn't what we expected. We would rent the house again.

Evakuation of 606 Harbor Dr SA guest from Essex, MA recommends this property.
Stayed for 14 days in December, 2009 This house was very clean and Kevin was very helpful.We did have a problem with the second bathroom (water kept running).The location is great from the standpoint of walking distance to both downtown & the dog beach but the road is a bit busy and noisy from a traffic standpoint.

The BeachA guest from Dunnellon, FL recommends this property.
Stayed for 7 days in August, 2009 We were told that the Golden Pond Beach was only 4 blocks away. It was 7 blocks and even though we were told we could use the beach we are not able to take the car and park it in the area for residents of the area. We were told that renters are not allowed. We did love the dog beach at Brohard Paw Beach.

Property Manager Response:Response from Vacation Rental Pros Hi Joseph - I just received your feedback and wanted to personally thank you for taking the time to fill out our survey. I apologize that the Golden Beach does not allow parking. But, there are several public beaches within 12 blocks that do allow parking if you need to drive. Again, I apologize for this.

Great location, has a few minor maintenance issuesA guest from Tulsa, OK recommends this property.
Stayed for 7 days in June, 2009 I think the toilet needs some new hardware inside. It apparently had a leak & would "run" a lot so I just turned it off at the water supply valve most of the time when not in use. Also the kitchen light fixture may need a new ballast. After a couple of days it wouldn't always come on, or it was delayed. If you flicked the switch a couple of times it would come on. The only other issue I had was I wasn't too sure about the washer & dryer in the shed. They may be fine but I didn't try them. Other than the above listed items the house was amply furnished and all the furniture was fine. I definitely liked the location.

Property Manager Response:Response from Vacation Rental Pros Hi Adele - I just received your wonderful feedback and wanted to personally thank you for taking the time to fill out our survey. I apologize for the maintenance issues and will discuss with the owner. It is our goal to provide a wonderful vacation experience. You and your family are welcome back any time. Thank you again.

Spring break adventureNancy I. from Hillsborough, IN recommends this property.
Stayed for 7 days in March, 2009 Property was presented as a house but was actually a duplex. Was not as close to beach and shopping as presented. Floors and couches could have been much cleaner, everything else was clean. Beds were very comfy and kitchen was well stocked with pans and utensils.

HONESTA guest from SAGINAW, MN does not recommend this property.
Stayed for 7 days in March, 2009 THE HOUSE WAS ADVERTISED AS A 2 BEDROOM. IT IS ACTUALLY A 1 BEDROOM WITH THE SUN ROOM TURNED INTO A BEDROOM. THAT DOSE NOT ACCOMA DATE 2 ADULT COUPLES VERY WELL. ACCESS TO THE FOR ACCESS TO THE PATIO YOU HAVE TO PASS THROUGH THE SECOND BEROOM. THE HOUSE COULD USE SOME MINOR PLUMBING REPAIRS. THE KITCHEN FAUCET MOVES BACK AND FORTH EVERY TIME YOU USE IT. BATROOM FAUCET DRIPS WATER. THE HOUSE COULD USE A TOTAL CLEANING. VENTS SHOW DIRT AND DUST. THE VINYL BLINDS HAVEN'T BEEN CLEANED IN LONG TIME. THE PATIO DOOR WAS FULL OF FINGER PRINTS FROM PREVIOUS OCCUPANT. WHEN WE SWEPT THE KITCHEN FLOOR WE FOUND DIRT FROM PREVIOUS USE. DO THE FLOORS GET MOPPED BETWEEN OCCUPANTS? I WOULD SAY THE HOUSE WAS OK, BUT DISAPPOINTING.
